War Child started in 1993 as a handful of Dutch volunteers fundraising to provide support to children living in areas affected by armed violence. Today, War Child is active in 14 countries, together with sister organisations War Child UK and War Child Canada, it reaches the most conflict-affected countries in the world.
War Child Holland works with children, adolescents, young people, caregivers and communities to deliver life-saving programmatic interventions in four streams: child protection, education, psychosocial support and youth empowerment. Their impressive work with youth is co-creative, person-centered and strength-based.
The Compact is delighted to have a vital humanitarian organisation like War Child Holland reaffirming our commitment to ensure the needs, perspectives and capacities of young people are meaningfully included in humanitarian response, and look forward to a rich collaborative partnership.
